# PPT Layout Matcher

Intelligent layout matching for PowerPoint presentations based on a 45-page professional design layout library.

## When to Use

- User wants to create a PPT from content
- User asks "which layout should I use for this content?"
- User provides bullet points / data / flow descriptions and wants them turned into slides
- User mentions "PPT", "presentation", "slides", "版式", "排版"

## Workflow

### Step 1: Analyze Content Structure

Extract key features from user input:
- Number of items (3 key metrics? 4 steps? 2 comparisons?)
- Content nature (data/metrics, process/steps, comparison, gallery, list)
- Presence of numbers/charts/images
- Timeline/step indicators

### Step 2: Run Matching Algorithm

Execute the bundled script to get layout recommendations:

```bash
python3 ppt_layout_matcher.py
```

Or use the Python API:

```python
from ppt_layout_matcher import recommend_layout
results = recommend_layout("user content here", top_k=3)
for template, score, analysis in results:
    print(f"{template.name} (Slide {template.slide_ref}) - Score: {score}")
```

### Step 3: Present Top 3 to User

Show:
- Layout name and reference slide number
- Match score
- Structure description
- Why this layout was recommended

Let the user confirm before creating.

### Step 4: Create PPT with python-pptx

Once confirmed, create the slide:
- 16:9 dimensions (13.33" × 7.50")
- Dark theme (deep blue/gray background)
- White text, accent colors for data highlights
- Follow the reference layout structure from `references/layout_templates.md`

### Step 5: QA

Verify with markitdown:
```bash
python -m markitdown output.pptx | head -100
```
